Brussels and Cologne

7-day twin-city rail trip: three nights each in Brussels and Cologne

Railbookers runs this 7-day, 6-night independent rail package pairing Brussels and Cologne, split evenly with three nights in each city and a border crossing from Belgium into Germany in between. In Brussels, the trip centers on Belgian chocolate and local beer in the medieval old town. In Cologne, it takes in the Dom Cathedral, described as looming over the city, a cruise along the River Rhine, and a visit to the Chocolate museum to see how chocolate is made. Because this is an independent package, travelers move between the two cities and explore each one at their own pace rather than following a group leader. It suits travelers who want an even split between a Belgian capital and a German cathedral city, connected by rail rather than driving. Railbookers prices the package from $899 per person.
